About Me

I love books! My love of them started with Dick and Jane and I've never looked back. I love all kinds of books but on my blog I review Middle Grade and Young Adult novels. I also have a family, two sons and a great husband! I have one rescue dog, Jasper who hates text messages and thunder and fireworks and loves snow. I have a BA in English Lit from the University of Florida and spend time writing when I get the chance. I am not accepting review requests. Be kind to yourself and others.

Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a meme started by Jill at Breaking the Spine and is a great way to show what books we are dying to get our greedy little hands on in the coming weeks, months, year. Below is my choice.

The author has a rather lengthy comment on the Goodreads site about Terra, the main character that gives some insight into her and what is going on on the spaceship.

Goodreads Synopsis-

My darling daughter,

Know that I never would have left the Earth if it hadn't already been doomed. . .

The generation ship Asherah coasts through space, bound for a planet its passengers have never even seen. On the eve of their arrival, sixteen-year-old botanist Terra discovers that her orderly society has fractured. Walking home one night through the long-abandoned engine rooms, she witnesses the murder of an innocent man. Now, called on by the Children of Abel, a group of rebels intent on destroying the High Council, Terra must prove her mettle--assassinate the ship's rising captain. In order to carry out her task, Terra must betray her father, deceive her teacher, and challenge everything the Council has ever taught her was true.

The rebels think that Terra has nothing left to lose. But when she falls for Silvan Rafferty, the boy that she's meant to kill, Terra learns that "doing your duty" isn't always as easy as it seems.

Also if you'd like to check out the "Lucky 13s" the novelist that have their debut novels coming out next year, here is their website. It's a huge list of MG and YA authors! So much to look forward to and I can't wait!

Oooo this one is new to me Heather! I love the setup for the romance - that she's meant to kill him but falls for him instead. Fantastic pick, but must you have chosen one that doesn't come out until July? That's a long wait and I fail in the patience department ;-)

Sorry Jenny! Maybe the ARC will be available on NetGalley???!!It just kind of reminded me of Across the Universe but heavy on romance and I just had to pick it! I also liked the author's note on Terra on Goodreads. Read it if you get a chance.

There seems to be a huge number of Debut authors next year or I am just seeing a lot of posts about them. Regardless I haven't read too many space books so this would definitely be different. Yes indeed let's hope the Mayans are wrong!

I haven't heard of this book! I was doing some blog hopping and found yours, I am now your newest follower! I hope you are having a great Wednesday! Stop by some time for a visit if you get a chance! :)
